Recognition of prior learning

Task Force 2.5: Recognition of Prior Learning is a guideline on credit recognition and transfer for accredited professional and work experience, thus facilitating access of older students with work experience to university. The Recognition of Prior Learning – RPL (or Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience – VAE) is a national system to facilitate the equivalence of professional experience with university credits. The guidelines represent the possible adaptation of the French procedure to the other six university systems. 

Task Force 3.8: Recognition of non-formal and informal learning was focused on the common structure, methodology, and guidelines for recognition of non-formal and informal education for the purposes of credit accumulation will be drawn up and implemented. Setting up and launching respective structures and procedures at universities will allow students to apply for recognition of informal/non-formal learning in any Arqus university. The outputs for both Task Forces were:
